Element 1: Assess the situation
1.1 Identify physical hazards to own and others’ health and safety
Introduction
When administering first aid your first concern must be to make sure you do not become a casualty of the situation.
This means you must assess the situation you are facing and take time to identify the physical hazards that may be present to your own safety and that of others who may be present.
Defining First aid
First aid is any care given to an injured or ill person (called a 'casualty') before professional medical assistance (ambulance, paramedics, nurse, or doctor) arrives on the scene to take control of the situation.
First aid can include the provision of:
• Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation – if the casualty is not breathing
• Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) – where there is no breathing and no pulse
• Control of bleeding – to limit blood loss
• Wound care – to limit blood loss and infection by covering wounds
• Treatment for burns and scalds – including treatment for electric shock
• Bandaging and splinting – to fractures and sprains.
Important points to note at the start
The following important points must always be taken into account when providing first aid:
• Protect yourself and others at all times against injury or harm – persons delivering first aid should not become casualties
• The casualty must be protected against further harm or injury
• Whenever there is a need to administer first aid make sure you notify your supervisor immediately to arrange for professional help to be called
• Wear protective gloves when administering first aid to protect against infection.
Trainee Manual – Training Notes
Slide 9
Types of hazards to be aware of
To protect first aid providers, bystanders and casualties against harm when providing first aid you must take care to identify physical and other hazards which may be present such as:
• Workplace and incident-specific hazards – including stock, plant, equipment, machinery, utensils and vehicles. It also includes the general environment in the form of heat, cold, wind, sunshine, rain
• Hazards sometimes associated with casualty management – for example, first aid providers need to be aware there can be:
A risk of being bitten
Violence as a result of a casualty being confused and disoriented
• Bodily fluids have the potential to contaminate and cause disease.
Some diseases are only spread through blood-borne viruses, but it is advisable to be alert to the potential dangers posed by all bodily fluids:
Blood
Saliva
Urine and faeces
Mucus
Pus
Semen
Sweat
Tears.
You should always be safe and treat all body fluids as if they are infectious.
Always wear protective gloves when providing first aid.
• Risk of further injury to the casualty – which can be caused by a range of issues, for example:
The casualty being burned by fire spreading toward them
Something falling onto the casualty and adding to their existing injury.

Trainee Manual – Presentation of Written Work
Slide 18
Presentation of written work
1. Introduction
It is important for students to present carefully prepared written work. Written presentation in industry must be professional in appearance and accurate in content. If students develop good writing skills whilst studying, they are able to easily transfer those skills to the workplace.
2. Style
Students should write in a style that is simple and concise. Short sentences and paragraphs are easier to read and understand. It helps to write a plan and at least one draft of the written work so that the final product will be well organized. The points presented will then follow a logical sequence and be relevant. Students should frequently refer to the question asked, to keep ‘on track’. Teachers recognize and are critical of work that does not answer the question, or is ‘padded’ with irrelevant material. In summary, remember to:
• Plan ahead
• Be clear and concise
• Answer the question
• Proofread the final draft.
3. Presenting Written Work
Types of written work
Students may be asked to write:
• Short and long reports
• Essays
• Records of interviews
• Questionnaires
• Business letters
• Resumes.
Format
All written work should be presented on A4 paper, single-sided with a left-hand margin. If work is word-processed, one-and-a-half or double spacing should be used. Handwritten work must be legible and should also be well spaced to allow for ease of reading. New paragraphs should not be indented but should be separated by a space. Pages must be numbered. If headings are also to be numbered, students should use a logical and sequential system of numbering.
